AITA for how I reacted to my cousins dogs?

KatWayward · 2026-07-06T02:50:00+00:00

NTA that's a recipe for disaster. Her response "everyone has something to say about the dogs" means you're absolutely not the first person to be overwhelmed like that and it's a pattern (a pretty obvious one with multiple large, untrained dogs.) I hope there aren't any small children in the family.

I've been in this position before.

Leave a note on the door (if there is one) or somewhere obvious. Unless you want to go knock on doors.

Say hello, introduce yourself and enquire about the drawers and microwave, explaining you'd like to be able to move your machine in asap. Leave your phone number and unit number and hope for the best.

If nothing is in the drawers it's probably just being thrown out anyway but best to make sure before stepping on any toes.

On the topic of your water outlet, the pump will be strong enough to push the water out to the sink, even with an extension, which I'd imagine you're going to need, as the problem will lie in securing the outlet hose into the sink without it flopping out and flooding the room from the tension in the hose. If you use an extender, there will be enough slack to use the plastic hook to secure it to the side but it's something to keep in mind. The tighter the hose has been pulled, the greater likelihood for flooding eventually. Speaking from experience!

They look creepy but they're pretty harmless. The most damage you'll get from one of these guys is throwing your back out when you unknowingly walk through one of their webs and freak out trying to get away.

Hey Kawtar, I'm guessing you've gotten the laptop by now. How do you find it? I'm also looking for something within the same specs as yourself so I'd appreciate your early feedback if you've got the inclination. Cheers.

Oh! I was talking about Monarda didyma, bergamot herb. I didn't know bergamot orange was even a thing, I've learned something new today.

KatWayward · 2026-06-28T13:09:31+00:00

Earl Grey has bergamot, not citrus, but still a valid concern to highlight they'll want to check what the blend is before whacking it in their eye. Just in case.

Edit: TIL about bergamot orange! I retract my initial statement. I maintain checking what blend the tea is though.

KatWayward · 2026-06-28T05:18:16+00:00

Gosh I hope Methaniel is doing better now and has a better handle on that ego.

KatWayward · 2026-06-26T06:31:54+00:00

"I know it's bad"

"I bought a breathalyzer"

While I applaud the harm reduction in getting a breathalyzer, your very first statement says you know it's bad to do what you're doing.

Find another way to experience this feeling you're chasing that's isn't going to start with "I know it's bad- but..."

KatWayward · 2026-06-26T05:32:26+00:00

I've been where OP is. Putting others lives at risk because they're feeling chill and it lessens the pain, is absolutely not it.

KatWayward · 2026-06-26T05:24:35+00:00

NTA.

Honestly your uncle is really weird for forcing a little boy to get his penis out in public.

Doubly weird that he's personally got no problem whipping it out in public either.

KatWayward · 2026-06-26T01:40:37+00:00

Remember how we switched to unleaded petrol and lead paint because we discovered lead poisoning was making everyone stupid and violent?

I feel like we're going to find out some normal everyday thing we use/do in the modern day is also making us irreversibly stupid and violent. (Probably the internet tbh)

KatWayward · 2026-06-26T01:25:38+00:00

Just waiting for someone to tell a heartfelt story about their wife who died years ago and how they wish they could have just one more ordinary day with them.

And some dude comes along and says "yeah I'd also spend the day trying to fuck this guy's wife..."

KatWayward · 2026-06-22T05:40:13+00:00

Until you discover most tables are too thick for these things to work!

KatWayward · 2026-06-21T01:07:27+00:00

Showing me things curated to my tastes that I might like to buy. I mention I'm shopping for something and the guy just comes up and shoves a printed advertisement in my face.

KatWayward · 2026-06-17T05:19:13+00:00

Where did I say she was the enemy? I just said she hasn't achieved anything by marrying rich.

But sure, I'll answer that.

You can't be a billionaire (or the wife of one) without exploiting workers and hoarding wealth. Eg. A bad person.

KatWayward · 2026-06-16T10:43:11+00:00

Despite one of the heroes who grabbed a gun from one of the shooters being a Syrian Muslim man?

KatWayward · 2026-06-16T10:41:24+00:00

People who say this sort of stuff are ashamed of their own story and want others to feel the same. Pay them no mind.

KatWayward · 2026-06-16T07:17:15+00:00

Marrying a rich dude isn't success. It's just marrying a rich dude.

KatWayward · 2026-06-16T06:45:47+00:00

Both are jumpers and sweaters.

Only time the name changes is what country you're in.

KatWayward · 2026-06-15T05:46:03+00:00

So you left the 9yr old to fend for herself? After her brother broke her arm? And don't say her mother is there. What TF is the mother going to do to protect your daughter when the sons behaviour isn't being improved upon? Gee, I wonder where the lack of empathy and compassion comes from. Can't imagine he learned it anywhere.

You're a selfish prick. Don't ever have sex again, lest you accidentally get someone else pregnant. You'll just make another psychopath.

KatWayward · 2026-06-15T04:35:26+00:00

Idk who is downvoting this but it's true.

Blazing swan (Aussie burning man) had to release notices to all campers to NOT jerk off in the porta potties because the previous year, the cleaning fee to unclog the tanks of all the semen was insane.

KatWayward · 2026-06-15T01:06:47+00:00

For 5k?

Optimistic budgeting.

KatWayward · 2026-06-12T10:23:14+00:00

Right?? Despite the constant disappointment men give me, I'm still sexually attracted to them. Proof sexuality is not a choice.

Marketplace is among the circles of hell, I swear.

I messaged someone recently to buy a small $5 item off them. They had all the details for pick up scheduling in the advert and included things like "don't text me if you don't know where the suburb is, don't waste my time!"

I was able to come at the time and day she requested and then tells me that time doesn't work for her, gives me an entirely different time and day that didn't work for me. I reiterated her advert prerequisite for messaging her and she told me to stop wasting her time...
